1gb is a little small. I have a 2gb. and I've had mine since before they came available to the public (Circuit City connections). but anyway. It says my 2gb can hold 500 songs. But i'm maxed out at 379. i don't know if my songs are bigger then normal or what. But i seen in the paper they have a 8 gb nano out. The nanos are way better then those huge 80gb.
